Students from Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Hunter College High School, and private schools across Manhattan are applying to the same 20 schools as everyone else in the country. New York City produces some of the most competitive applicants in the nation — which means that having a strong profile isn't enough on its own. How you present that profile matters.
The admissions process isn't just about what you've done. It's about the story you tell, the schools you target, and how your application lands on a reader who sees thousands of similarly credentialed students from the same zip codes. Strategy matters as much as achievement — and that's what Laplace is here for.
Why Laplace
Our consultants finished the exact application cycle your student is about to enter. We know what worked — not from a playbook, but from personal experience.
Every essay is reviewed by a founder. We don't route students to whoever is available — you work directly with someone who got into a top school and knows how to help you do the same.
We tell you when an essay isn't working, when a school is a stretch, and what actually needs to change. No hedge, no false reassurance — just direct, specific guidance.
What We Offer
Common App personal statement and all school-specific supplements, from brainstorming through final draft.
Building a balanced, well-researched list of reach, target, and likely schools tailored to your profile.
How to present your activities, frame your narrative, and identify gaps before application season.
Strategy for national competitions and scholarships that strengthen your application.
